 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So this would be the spoiler-filled review for scream six scream six is being directed by radio silence map been nearly open in Tyler Gillette It's being pinned by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busek same people who did screen five It is starring Courtney Cox Melissa Barrera Jenna Ortega Jasmine Savoy Brown Mason Gooding Skeet Orrick Roger Jackson Dermot Maroney Jack champion Josh Shagara Leona Liberado Devon Dakota Hayden Pantier Tony Revillory Samara weaving and Henry Cazerni Now scream six is revolving around our core for Woodsboro survivors leaving behind and and getwothers of course and of course the return of Herbie Reed, but the core for leaving behind Woodsboro and Trying to start a fresh new chapter in New York City but of course ghostface has followed into the big Apple and Sam Carpenter is implicated in all of this now having now seen the movie four times I'm still confident in saying that this is a thrill ride from start to finish Not only does it successfully manage to make you care about the characters before they are placed in dire situations Like scream has always kind of excelled at doing it finds demented ways to commentate on conspiracy theories cancel culture While still delivering something fresh but familiar in true screen fashion The chase scenes are the type of adrenaline rush run might have been hoping to see in screen five So you're gonna get that here in scream six when the chases aren't happening though Scream six is still an anxiety-inducing experience that excels in making you feel isolated in a packed city of folks too busy to care So I would say the backdrop of New York City is used to the best way possible Maybe it could have been used a little bit more, but they do use it in an effective manner Guy and James most definitely crafted one of the most unique opening sequence to date that features a franchise first occurrence We have Ghostface unmasked after butchering a character named Laura Crane in a dark alley who was out on a tender date This character is played by Samara weaving. It's not actually called tender. I think what's called like flicker Tony Reverend Laurie who plays Jason who was supposed to be dating her or going out on this date with her ends up unmasking himself And what's so shocking is usually you'd expect a title card after somebody dies like that But the scene keeps playing out until Ghostface Unmasked themselves Tony Reverend lawyers character of Jason goes home and he's taken out by yet another Ghostface So subverting expectations would be an understatement because I know many people were not prepared for Ghostface to be unmasked During this opening Admittedly, I will say this when it comes to the writing besides Sam Tara Kirby Gale Chad and Mindy our newbies are paper-thin at best However, Josh Shagara's character of Danny stands out by default in the end since he joins deck the cat since he joins detective in Cade For now I'll say in the in the list of reliable love interests that exists in this universe As I said in the spoiler free review for every strength to the screenplay there is a weakness So the dialogue still I believe isn't always that great But it never reached a point of absolute absurdity Some might be found in shock and confusion at certain Survivals like Chad surviving once again in true dewy fashion after believing him to be dead The problem isn't Chad surviving It's just that maybe some of the brutality that these characters being put through should be dialed back of your Just gonna have them alive. I do think that some of the stakes are lessened Also, when you execute a fake-out death in that fashion, so the brutality should just be dialed back a little bit Now the deaths in this movie are truly brutal when they occur is just that the execution again of some fake-outs aren't that great Yes, there are gaping logic holes due to unanswered questions But none that ever shattered the movie completely as expected you have your meta commentary self self aware characters Callbacks to franchise favors mostly like screen two and three But still that this film pays respect to every entry that came before it in a way That is long overdue with these elaborate set pieces filled with stolen evidence Stuff that calls back to past past survivors who are now dead You know, it was just a lot of heartfelt moments, especially during that shrine sequence There's also the dashes of social commentary that examine how decadent how destructive Conspiracy theories can be and why some people might exploit them I really have to commend the frame job that is written up here in this movie towards Sam You have them leaving mask at the scenes of the crimes in reverse order County down to Billy's Killing her therapist and stealing her session notes plus the media coverage of the conspiracy that she did the woodsboro murders Not amber and Richie. It's just some of the most well-written attempts to frame the protagonist that we've had of late The character work is the strongest aspect of the screenplay Which allows us to learn that Sam is overly invested in playing helicopter mom to make up for abandoning Tara After she found out she was Billy's daughter Tara is coping with her woodsboro trauma by being a little reckless And she is sick of Sam stalking her as she puts it Gail has written a new book after being unsuccessful at failing to sell The stab right she holds and Gail's backtrack as people called it is not true within complete context They provide a simple explanation for why she wrote the new book and her ability to be more than a mean reporter Still is shining throughout this movie Kirby's FBI involved might come off underwhelming to some But I thought it was handled just fine. She's not overshadowing our main characters But it's given a role that allows her to shine as a supporting character We learned that she did indeed die for four minutes after the Charlie attack and afterwards She wanted to not be a victim for the rest of her life Which is what prompted her to go down the career path. She's chosen the fact that Kirby kills our in-cell Charlie Walker Type killer Indian was also poetic justice since it was her making up for not killing the last in cell that effed with her Without this strong character work all of the dire situations that they find themselves in just would not have impacted me the Same the killer reveals of Bailey Quinn and Ethan are not underwhelming But it was just another old that makes sense type of thing The only motives this this franchise has really managed to make me love are the motives of four and five So this is just another I okay Yes, these people are Richie's family and they want revenge the nuance differences between scream 2 and scream 6 are what keep it separate But yes, I still get it to rehatching riches something scream has a habit of doing scream 6 Absolutely is drenched in tension. Sure the impeccable pacing allows you to have these pockets of relief to laugh and invest in our core Which is a term I got tired of hearing but it's almost never going to have you almost not never going to have you on the edge of Your seat I'd go as far to say that the subway sequence between Mindy Or before Mindy is stabbed is a masterfully crafted sequence that plays with your paranoia Get your heart rate going and comes close to rivaling that car scene in scream 2 Melissa Borreira has once again shown that she belongs here She excels at portraying an overprotective sister who wants to shatter under pressure but remain strong for her sister Her delivery is a lot better in this movie and I especially love the chemistry She had with Courtney who really gets to shine and hold it down for our legacy characters Jenna Ortega absolutely is incredible as always capturing terrorist fear and desire to be a Independent person with ease Hayden does a wonderful job hopping back into the royal after so long capturing Kirby's mayorism while displaying a more die or Displaying a more hardened version of herself The horror nerve that we first met back in screen for Jack champion I don't want to say his bad at playing shy and dorky He's actually solid enough and his unhinged performance during the reveal did work for me. However, Dermot was the one Doing an adequate job up until he started yelling at Sam saying everyone dies Anyone who had anything to do with Richie's death, you know that delivery from him It was just laughable and horrific to watch sometimes after the mask came off still Everyone is good and effective enough visually. I would say that the color palette in this film is a lot more pleasing to look at Five is a bit dull in comparison to this the editing is mostly improved The camera work also makes ghost face a menacing force and the way they play with the idea of ghost face being a literal Ghosts during the subway where the lights are flickering and the killer is slowly getting closer to Mindy But it's executed in a way to look like they're teleporting that was just done masterfully well now Brian Tyler score amplifies the suspense felt throughout and it's heightening the intensity of every chasing especially gales Which outdoes her scream to chase I would say Courtney's delivery combined with ghost face brutal Low blows about her being a perfect ghost face contender not being there for Dewey living in Sydney shadow All of it was just amazing. I actually do love how they reference Sydney Prescott and explain that she decided to get away With her kids and her husband mark But she did send her love and hopes everyone can be safe and that she deserves her happy ending Simple Sydney references that acknowledged that her character indeed was working towards peace She was not somebody intended to be put through the wringer over and over and over again every time ghost face pops up By the way major props for really settling it on Gail being dead only to them reveal She lived not everyone bought it, but it's effective still since you had those seeds of doubt placed Until her survival is confirmed later on in the movie by Danny That latter sequence is perhaps the most gut-wrenching kill you have to endure in the movie Devon Dakota's Anika character wasn't that strong, but she was Mindy's likable girlfriend So it added to the emotional angst felt and of course while I did find Mindy annoying at times in this movie I still love the character of Mindy So my heart was breaking for her during this moment the sound design this time seemed pretty determined to make you feel The staffs because I was just wincing way too much during some of these stab wounds More than I ever have in any of the any of the other previous screen movies I almost want to say that this is my favorite screen movie, but I'm still undecided on that I am going to give it a solid strong eight out of ten.
